2020 Hospitality Trends: Looking Ahead to New Year<\/strong><\/h5>\n

During the last few months of 2020,\u00a0<\/span>businesses\u00a0<\/span>began\u00a0<\/span>to think about their goals for the following year.\u00a0<\/span>With<\/span>\u00a02020<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>being<\/span>\u00a0the start of a\u00a0<\/span>brand-new<\/span>\u00a0decade,\u00a0<\/span>planning for the future\u00a0is key\u00a0<\/span>to stay\u00a0<\/span>up to date<\/span>\u00a0with trends, new technologies, and foreword thinking ideas.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the past 16 years, LGC has been one of the sole hospitality specific staffing providers in the nation.\u00a0<\/span>Prior to founding LGC<\/a>, CEO George\u00a0<\/span>Lessmeister<\/span>\u00a0was working\u00a0<\/span>at a staffing agency\u00a0<\/span>dedicated to placing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>upper level management\u00a0<\/span>positions\u00a0<\/span>in various industries.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>He knew he wanted to bring his staffing expertise to the hourly\u00a0<\/span>workforce and<\/span>\u00a0realized there was a niche market he coul<\/span>d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>tap into \u2013 hospitality staffing. Since there\u00a0<\/span>were no hospitality specific staffing organizations\u00a0<\/span>in the area, he took his\u00a0<\/span>passion\u00a0<\/span>for making a difference in\u00a0<\/span>someone’s<\/span>\u00a0career\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>years of staffing experience\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>launch<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0LGC in Indianapolis.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During our time in hospitality,\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019ve had the opportunity to work\u00a0<\/span>with professionals from the hourly workforce, like servers and\u00a0<\/span>bartenders<\/span>, up to management, such as general managers and head chefs.\u00a0<\/span>Along with the diverse group of talent we\u2019ve worked with, we\u2019ve had partnersh<\/span>ips with a variety of restaurants, hotels, and food service\u00a0<\/span>organizations that have taught us the ins and outs of the hospitality industry.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As LGC looks ahead to the new year,\u00a0<\/span>we sat down\u00a0<\/span>with some of our executive team\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>discuss\u00a0<\/span>what 2020 hospitality <\/span>trends we think we’ll see this year<\/span>. Here\u2019s what they found:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personalization<\/span><\/b>
\nStarting from the job advertisement all the way to\u00a0<\/span>employee\u00a0<\/span>retention and engagement,\u00a0<\/span>more and more candidates are requiring a personal touch<\/span>. In fact<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>a study by the American Staffing Association<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>reports that 69%\u00a0<\/span>of job seekers in the U.S. \u201cbelieve that the job search today is too impersonal\u201d, with 80% saying \u201cthat applying for a job feels like sending their r\u00e9sum\u00e9 or job application into a \u201cblack box.\u201d\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the integration of\u00a0<\/span>automation into several aspects of recruiting, maintaining a human feel can make the difference between a candidate<\/span>\u00a0saying \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 when offered<\/span>\u00a0the job.\u00a0<\/span>Providing personalization during the hiring process also shows that your business recognizes job seekers for who they are, rather than just another\u00a0<\/span>application<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>There are a few ways to make your processes feel more personal, including:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
